Essentials of a Good Fighter.


In answer to the question: ''What are the
essentials OF thoroughly good fighter"
Sullivan said:
''Pluck, skill, endurance and good head
on his shoulders I tell you, sir, man
fights with his head almost as much as he
does with his fist. He must know where to
send his blows so they may do the most good.
He must economic his strength and not
score hit just for the sake of scoring it''
''What portion of your antagonist body
do you aim at when you are in the ringy"
81 endeavor,'' said Sullivan, ''to hit my
man above the heart or under the chin, or
behind the ear. A man wears out pretty
soon if one can keep hammering away in the
region of the heart; a blow under the chin
or behind the ear will knock out a man
quicker than hundred blows on the cheek
or any other portion of the face. Now, the
Marine has a scar on his left cheek which he
received in his fight with Dempsey, and
which he will carry to his grave. He told
me that Dempsey kept hammering away at
that spot. If Dempsey were long headed
fighter he would not have wasted his time
and strength in getting in there. That fact
alone proves to me that he is deficient in
generalship.'
lyon can tell pretty well when your man
is giving ins''
Certainly I can, - said the pugilist. 81
watch his eyes and know at once when the
punishment is beginning to tell on him.
And, when talk 70 a man before stand up
before him at all, | can make up my mind
whether he is a fighter or not There is more
intelligence required in this business than
outsiders give us credit for. ''-Sacramento

Elephants at Sea.

The hoisting into the air and lowering
elephants into the hold of ship is not only
an unusual sight to most men but also a
strange experience to most elephants They
were lashed with strong ropes, slung as far
as practicable in sings, hoisted up with
cranes and three-fold tackle and lowered into
the steamers hold like bales of cotton. When
in the hold they were placed in pens built of
strong teak timber halls, bolted to the ships
side to prevent them from breaking loose.
The fear the animals suffered was the only
pain they underwent, and by watching the
eyes of the poor beasts their terror was very
manifest. Tears trickled down their faces
and they roared with dread, more especially
when being lowered into the hold, the bottom
of which was sanded for them to stand upon.
We are told that one timid female elephant
actually tainted and was brought to with a
fan and many gallons of water. At sea it
appears that the animals got into a curious
habit of occasionally-evidently at a precon-
certed signai-setting to work rocking the
ship from side TO side by giving themselves
simultaneously swinging motion as they
stood athwart the ship, the vessel rolling
heavily as if in a seaway.-Youth's Com

Foi1ed with a silver Brick.

NJ W Brown, of New Mexico, said to
reporter: ''Mining now is not what it used
to be. In early days there were incidents
without number When l first went to Sill
yer City, n. NJ, to open the mine which l
have recently located here, the railroads
had not entered that territory, and the
stage robber flourished in all his glory. 1t
was not infrequent for them to make good
hauls of bricks or dust, both in that and
other sections of the mining country. / had
some trouble in that line and finally con-
cluded that L had the remedy in my own
hands, and put my bullion into 800 pound
brick and sent it to the Philadelphia mint.
The stage was attacked, and the robbers got
all they could, but when they came to my
brick they stopped short and remarked:
''Well, it looks mighty pretty, but it's too
much for us, and went. l was notified
from the mint that they would not again re-
ceive such large brick. l had not antici-
pated this, and was rather put back, but
wrote to the people at the mint, explaining
the situation very clearly, and they replied
that under those circumstances they would
receive 500-pound bricks, but no larger

LIs1 oE COLLEGE war oRIEs.
The Peculiar whOops and shouts Adopted
by Different students.

The Peculiar Whoops ana snouts Auopteu
by Different Students.
One of the college papers has compiled a
list and history of college cheers Accord
ing 10 it the original shouts of the colleges
were a repetition of the name Of the college.
This gave an advantage to the colleges
which had sonorous names, and as the con-
slant aim Of cheering is TO make more noise
than the other cheerers, new yells were
evolved by process of evolution. These
came into existence quarter of century
ago when Yale and Harvard had their boat
races on Lake Quinsigamond, when the
'Rahi 'Rahl 'Rah, thrice repeated was
first heard. Harvard sounded the 'Rahs
full, and added Harvard, - pronounced so
that the ar and clipped were all that
were heard. ''Yale" was added TO the New
Haven colleges 'Rahs with long howl on
the a.
Princeton's cheer was developed soon
after, as Princeton came into athletic rela-
tions with the other colleges. They took the
three 'Rahs for basis, and added the sky
rocket siz-boom-ah, which they hold on to as
long as the nine 'Rahs of their opponents
hold out. and then yell Princeton" as a
caIiope climax. Dartmouth has one Of the
most novel cheers OF all. Some Indian must

to the best advantage. The hoo is ike a

Everybody has heard Columbia's Hooray!
Hooray! Hoorayl C-o-l-u-m-b-i-al The
name spells out rythmically. Johns Hop
kins university at Baltimore has taken the
ground plan of the cheer and built on it, al
ding Johns H-o-p-k-i ms, instead OF Co

A SINGULAR difficulty has arisen in
Chattanooga, Tenn, as the result Of the
real estate boom which has prevailed
for three months. Some time since q
syndicate of capitalists purchased 2
large tract of land, almost in the center
of the city, called Stone Fort. which Oh
account of its rocky and uneven eondi-
ton, has been allowed to become occu>
pied by negro tenants. at least 200 small
houses having been putup for their occu-
pancy. These two hundred families,
since the new purchase, have been noti-
fed to vacate this property at once. and
they will have to leave. There is not a
vacant house in the city that they cal
get, and Chattanooga is now confronted
with the problem of what to do with 200
families who are now turned out of
house and home. The purchasers pro-
pDse to improve the property, level. il
of and make it available for business
and residences. The poor people will
have to get off during the week, ano
what to do with them nobody knows
In several other portions where proper
ty has heretofore been occupied by poor
er classes, and which property has pass
e1 into new hands. the tenants are o.
red off to make room Tor lmYrove-
ments. 1t is safe In say that daring the
week, if these no;ices are insisted upon,
there will be hundreds of faWili.s IN
Chattanooga, with nv homes that they
can rent.

Need of a written Code.

If written code were enacted we should
be able to set an example to foreign aristo-
Gratis, who base precedence on real rank and
defend it as a part of system, a necessary
adjunct of nobility. We could show that it
may be founded on the most short lived
grandeur or unsubstantial consequence; that
it requires neither distinction, nor character,
nor attainment, nor age, which in certain
spheres are supposed to be reasons for social
deference-but only rotation in office. Like
lagos purse, twas mine, It's yours, and may
be slave to thousands"
But above all we could definitely extend
precedence to wives. The English, whom 1
mention because they are SO generally ac-
knowledged as models for our social study
the English scorr the idea of prime minis
ter's wife having rank because of the official
position of her husband. Mrs. Gladstone fol-
lowed every peeress in the land when Mr..
Gladstone was at the head of the govern
ment; and even the wife of the archbishop of
Canterbury goes behind the wife of an in
ferior bishop who happens to be noble by
birth But we would give the wife of
Judge precedence forever over the wife of a
senator, and entitle the wife Of a cabinet
member to the first visit from every Anleri-
can woman rot in the government. Then
there would be no more New Years disputes
at the White House. No one could ask.
"Who gave these ladies the place they de
mand" or "To what Office were they elected
or appointed~ As it is, these questions are
embarrassing, and the ladies should be re-
lieved. The rank of the widows would Of
course be determined, and the place OF the
sons If senators and the sons wives. There
is a mighty task before the legislators, and, /
fear, still mightier before the political ora,

The following anecdote of ''Helen's Ba-

The babies went with their mother TO visit
her father, D. P. NJ. Hastings, OF Hartford,
whose brother, a missionary in India, mar
ried a sister of President Cleveland. The
doctor at that time lived in house with
high steps, having his Office in the basement.
There was an inside passageway through
the cellar from the Office to the living
rooms and during the visit of the little boys
to their grandfather the cellar stairs were
one day found sprinkled with little pieces of
paper. When questioned as TO their object
the children explained that they put the bits
Of paper there in order to find their way back
from the office by their aid. Their mother
had evidently been reading Grimms fairy
tales to them. One of the boys is now a
well grown youth. The other died while
still young, and his parents, although they
had then two children younger than Budge
and Toddy, adopted little girl of the age
of their lost boy.-Buifalo Courier
